Daniel 5:22

5:22 “But you, his son ¹  Belshazzar, have not humbled yourself, ²  although you knew all this.

Daniel 4:18

4:18 “This is the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw. Now you, Belteshazzar, declare its ³  interpretation, for none of the wise men in ⁴  my kingdom are able to make known to me the interpretation. But you can do so, for a spirit of the holy gods is in you.”

Daniel 5:23

5:23 Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. You brought before you the vessels from his temple, and you and your nobles, together with your wives and concubines, drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone – gods ⁵  that cannot see or hear or comprehend! But you have not glorified the God who has in his control ⁶  your very breath and all your ways!

¹ tn Or “descendant”; or “successor.”

² tn Aram “your heart.”

³ tc The present translation reads פִּשְׁרֵהּ (pishreh, “its interpretation”) with the Qere and many medieval Hebrew MSS; the Kethib is פִּשְׁרָא (pishra’, “the interpretation”); so also v. 16.

⁴ tn Aram “of.”

⁵ tn Aram “which.”

⁶ tn Aram “in whose hand [are].”
